Putting vampire bats on treadmills reveals an unusual metabolism

Be Your Own Light! - Marion's Mumblings
Let's start the morning by turning on a light - the light within your heart, the light within your soul. However, if you're feeling a bit down today, then let me show you the many ways to relight that fire within you.Marion (Marion's Mumblings)
With the mainstream media finally reporting that “depression is not caused by low levels of serotonin,” many people ask me: Why does psychiatry repeatedly get it wrong when it comes to not only to its theories of mental illness but in so many other areas?"

The Core Error of Psychiatrists and Psychologists: Certainty about “Consensus Reality" - Mad In America
Psychiatrists are selected and socialized to accept consensus reality and see a lack of adjustment to it as evidence of a mental illness.Bruce Levine, PhD (Mad In America)
Where are the resources for #neurodivergent parents who are raising neurotypical children?

"Even the highly cited examples of 150-people networks have been criticised as overwhelmingly skewed towards rich, educated, and industrialised societies, with non-western cultures rarely mentioned. Confirmation bias may well be a factor in the popularity and acceptance of Dunbar’s number."

The end of Dunbar’s number: Have our social networks changed for good? - The Oxford Scientist
Helen Collins explores evidence for and against Dunbar's number, the idea that our species' social groups are limited to around 150 people.Helen Collins (The Oxford Scientist)
"In a series of studies using both archival and original data (n = 12,492,983), we show that people in at least 60 nations around the world believe that morality is declining, that they have believed this for at least 70 years and that they attribute this decline both to the decreasing morality of individuals as they age and to the decreasing morality of successive generations. Next, we show that people’s reports of the morality of their contemporaries have not declined over time, suggesting that the perception of moral decline is an illusion. Finally, we show how a simple mechanism based on two well-established psychological phenomena (biased exposure to information and biased memory for information) can produce an illusion of moral decline."
